8 year anniversary today!

Exactly 8 years ago at this time I was in Rochester, MN on a bypass machine with my heart stopped, allowing the fabulous Dr. Joe Dearani to remove a large hunk of muscle which was obstructing my blood flow. I am infinitely grateful to him, Dr. Steve Ommen and the rest of the staff at the Mayo Clinic for giving me a second chance at a normal life.  I promise that I will not squander this gift.  I have been working full time, and spending my free time doing fun things with my family.  My son Jesse is about to turn 13, and tomorrow starts the 7th grade.  Time marches on!

Here is a picture of me at the Hollywood Wax Museum yesterday, hanging out with Lucille Ball.
